UIRUI Ul lll? lourui tt 11muul
banquet of the Chicago Association
of Commerce. Tho meeting
in said to have been tho first of its
kind.
Mr. llryan, having l?een in Chicago
aU day, was tho first to urrive at
the banquet hail in tho Auditorium
hotel. Mr. Taft having delivered a
v speech at the opening of tho Deep
/ Waterway convention in the fore
noon, went to Galesburg, 111., to deliver
another address during tho
afternoon, and returned tt) Chicago
tonight after the banquet was well
under way.
Intense Interest in (he meeting linn
been manifested since It first became
known that the two candidates
wore to meet in public, aud every
Koat in the banquet hall was occupied
when tho first course was served
save only a commodious chair reserved
for Mr. Taft.,
At the speaker's table during ?Jtho
speech-making were the following.
DaFayette MeWilliams, II. N. lligglnhottiam,
John V. Farwoll, Walter II
Wilson (representing Mayor Busse),
Dr. Fm 11 G. Hirsch, David It. Forgan,
Mr. Taft, President Iteinhardt C.
Hall of the chamber of commerce,
Mr. Bryan, A. C. Bartlett, Governor
Done'en of Illinois, Join G. Sliedd,
Otinrles H. Wacker, President Havana
uirli of tho Tlnon WdIppwuvb nu
societies and Hon Famswortli.
An ear-splitting shout gave warning
of the arrival of Mr. Taft. Mr.
Bryan, in common with every one
else, rose and looked toward the entrance.
A huge frame, moving like
a ship amongst a swarm of togs, was
moving slowly up the narrow aisle
between two tables. Those at a distance
occasionally could catch it
glimpse of a smiling face acknowledging
greetings. A policeman in uniform
.and assistants in plain clothes
aided in the progress of the distinguished
guest. Mr. Bryan, who had
ceased on the destruction of some
sort of a chop suey masquerading
under a French name, turned his
bead slowly an his political rival
drew near, smiling slightly. The
dramatic moment which had been anticipated
with such deep interest was
soon over. Mr. Bryan's hand awaited
that of Mr. Taft. A single lingering
pressure, a word or so which
uone could overhear because of the
tumult, and the Republican leader
passed on to a chair at the right
of Mr. Hall. Tho cheering continued
for a minute or so after those at
the speaker's table had taken their
seats. At the first moment the nolso
subsided Mr. Bryan, leaning to one
side and smiling broadly, asked Mr.
Taft if he had had a good (lay.
This rBunlnv of frlonrllv fonllni* on
the part of the two candidates stirred
the crowd to renew cheering and
words were useless in the din. Mr.
Taft stroked his throat for an answer.
Then Taft laughed and the applause
Increased.
* "What is the matter with Rill? '
cried some in stentorian tones.
"He's all right."
"Who's ail right?"
"Bill's all right."
It took music by the orchestra an l
a song by the guests to restore a
semblance of quiet. When tulking
in ordinary tones became possible the
two candidates entered into an animated
conversation, in which President
Hall joined. The speeches 01
both Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan wore
aonpartizan. This was In conformity
with the wishes of the Chicago
Association of Commerce, which is
a nonpartizan organization.
Resides Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan
the speakers of the evening were
A. C. Bartlett and David It. Forgan.
Mr. Bartlett was the first, speaker
and Mr. Forgan was sandwiched between
Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft. hi
introducing Mr. Bryan, President
Hall said:
"As I look upon my distinguished
associates I am forced to resort to
ibe familiar protestation of t!ie per
plexed lover. 'How happy could I
be with either, were t'other dear
cinrmer away.' The evolution of
politics has brought to a commandlag
place in the eyes and regard of
bis countrymen a citizen of Nebraska.
His life has been an honorable
progress from the day he re^
eeived his degree from his alma
r mater to the hour of his choice as
standard hearer of one of the great
ational parties by legions of enthusiastic
countrymen. With the
principles of an American he has
sought and held leadership in a
oareer of courage, fidelity and kind ese.
Millions accept his captaincy,
the energy of his service, the purity
hie patriotism. Gentlemen, Mt.

Island officials wore staggered when '
Mrs. John Damp, a rosy-choekod 1
matron from the Isle of Wight, rogiBterod
herself, her ten children, a (
son-in-law and five grandchildren
as arriving steerage passengers on 1
the American liner New York.
The registry clerk was almost 1
speechless when the little woman '
casually, albeit with a Blight wistful- '
ness, mentioned that sne also had (
a grown-up daughter in this country '
and had left behind in the Isle of

thirteen other children to come tj i
the New World. t
"Why, that means that you have 1
had a family of twenty-six all told."
gasped the clerk when he could tin 1 1
voice. i
Mrs. Damp, whose remembrance <
of her lost loved ones had choked her I
utterance for a moment, nodded st- <
lently while her married daughter, |
Mrs George Warren, who, surround- I
ed by her own five children, stood i
nearby with her husband, su\l 1
softly: i
"Yes, our family was very largo, i
but we were all very happy until
death took away some of them."
At this moment there was a diversion
in the arrival of Miss Kath- ]
leen Damp, a youthful replica of
her mother, who had come from No v
Haven to meet the family and start
them right for Pittsburg, wlieto
faithful John Dump, the father, is
awaiting them.
As the children and grandchildren
romped about the deck of the 1011 is
Island ferryboat Mrs. Damp laughingly
said she had heard of President
Roosevelt and his Ideas of race suicide,
and quite agreed with him.
"I have been a very happy mother,"
she declared.

Mr. II. LAlexander, President of
:ho North Carolina State Union, gives
>omo good advlco to the farmers,
lie wisely says whatever your money
jrop may lie, market it slowly. It
s poor business policy to force any
product on a non-appreciative martot.
Tho great bulk of agricultural
products are uon-pershiable if kept
under shelter. Of course there is
tlwuys tho danger of tire, but you
:nn have that risk covered by insuriuco
for a small cost. Feed the martets
011 short rutions and you will
i??on see prices boosted by an lucreus;d
demand. Don't let the cry of
'big crops" scare you into parting
ivith your products at a price that
vlll not give you a fair uiul Just
reward for your labor and the capital
hat you have invested in your business.
Yoil fll.n r t'nwl " 1 ? - *1 ?
? > ??^-u 111 uiner rulings
disposing <>i products whicn
represent a year's work and interest
on their investment, at n pr'ee
ho low cost. The farmer lias often
lone tliis by following the suicidal
[mlicy of forcing on the market in
four months time, crops which mvot
inect and supply a year's demand.
[)f course these crops are not to be
mid will not bo consumed in four
months. They are bought by tin"middle
man" and held in storage
until the demand ol' the markets
call for them at remunerativ .
prices.
Farmers should not quarrel with
Lho "middle man" as long as he conlucts
a legitimate buying and selling
business. They should quarrel
with themselves for not handling
their own crops for their own beno
lit in t he same business-like way that
.he "middle man" has been handling
them for his benflt. If products
were not offered for sale 011 licit
reels of our towns at whatever
irire they would bring, the "middle
man" would soon go out of busiioss.
Hut as long as farmers folow
the present method of inaikeilng
heir crops, there will be a logitb
nate Held for the "middle man," and.
11 fact, he is n necessary part of this
node of marketing. In the case ot
mtton crop, which is the principal
nancy of the South, we can veil
lelievo that a fair margin is made
>y the men who stand between the
irodueer and lho spin rev; oiheiwise
hero would not be so many "cotton
.iiyora."
Now, haw are farmers to g-t out
>f those "old ruts" and upon the
lighway of successful business?like
narketing of their crops? It must
>e aouo i>y extending the se'iii?g
)oriod throughout the year ho th.it
ho supply will jiiHt keep pace with
.ho domand. AIho by "bunching"
heir products and selling in such
quantity as domanded by large buy3ra.
This is co-operative selling.
How is it to bo done? Through
iho storage or warehouse plan, (io
:o any largo cotton market town and
you will find the cotton buyers using
the warehouses to store <heir cotton
in, to ho held until demanded by
the spinner. Farmers should do this
Tor themselves and save the pr.dits
that now go to the men who have
boon doing It for them.
But, you say that you have hills
that aro duo and that you must
realize money from your crop at
:>nco . Unfortunately this Is true
with a great many farmers. Too
many of them are Htlll following the
old ruinous "credit system," which
Is the legitimate off-spring of the
"all cotton system" and, next to Us
parent, is the greatest curse ev; i
imposed upon the agricultural Interests
of the South. Well, if you
owe bills you should pay them when
payment Is demanded. Hut do not
put all your cotton on the market.
Cio to your local banker and borrow
[>n your cotton Just as little monej
eis you can possibly do with. Leave
fhia money on deposit and use a
chock book. Your check may possibly
pay several IjIIIh and finally he
deposited to the credit of some other
man without any money being drawn
from the bank.
Wo mention this because we know
that bankers are more ready to loan
money If It Is to bo left on deposit
with them. Follow this plan and
economize In every way possible until
you get out of debt, an.l then
swear that you will stay out. If
farmers are ever to attain their commercial
Independence they must
raise homo supplies nnd quit buying
on credit. We don't know a single
farmer who has followed the "all
cotton system" and made a success
At It.
Now, a fow words about the cotton
crop. Tho crop is great!v over-csti
mated. At tho Farmers' Union Convention
in Fort Worth, Texas, wo
had reports from every one of the
Cotton States and according to these
reports from tho field the committee
having charge of this mat'er
was fully convinced that wo would
find in the wind-up that the present
crop is considerably below that of
last year. If the crop is held off
'he market for thirty days we will
see a very material riee in the price.

Among the ant Miry.in newspapers
that have felt called upon to speakout
against President Roosevelt's attitude
in the present campaign, the
New York Sun administers one of
the most stinging rebuke:? that has
been offered; "The fact is," says
The Sun, "that in this us in most jf
his controversies, Mr. ltoosevelt
has shown a shameless disregard of
truth and fair reasoning. Air. Bryan,
who. with all his economic vacuum
lias shown himself In this controversy
to be a gentleman and to have
some distant respect for the truth,
will soon find that it is impossible
to continue a dispute with an antagonist
who resorts for his facts to tiis
imagination and whose insistent
advocucy of the 'square deal' is a
monumental hypocrisy of American
history." The Sun comes very near
expressing the same opinion about
Bryan and Roosevelt that The Times
and Democrat expressed a short time
ago. The Sun is a Republican papei
and is supporting Roosevelt's Friday,
hut it does not mind telling the ti nth
about the very unreliable gentleman
that now happens to be President of
the Republic.
Killed His Father.
A dispatch from Willistou says.
Oscar Maher, a young negro about
24 years old, shot and killed his
father, John Maher, at 7:20 o'cIock
last night, in defense of his younger
brother, whom the father had whipped.
The killing occurred on the
plantation of Air. Albert. Willis, a
few miles from town. The murderer
was captured by Magistrates
Constable Henry McDonald and S.

well Jail by the sheriff thin morning.
This is the Hoeond murder that has
been committed among the negroes
in this community within the past
two weeks. *
Judge Parker, speaking in Haitimore,
said the President, by the us--:
of an old trick, had endeavored to
cast suspicion on Mr. Hryan because
of the allegations against Governor
Haskell, and, said he, "If there i.<
one man in the country who has
earned the right to he saved from
Hiicti an insult as this ,that man is
William Jennings Bryan." The Baltimore
Sun Says: "At this the crowd
jumped to its feet as one man and
for two minutes there was the wildest
kind of enthusiasm."
There are a great many men who
boast that they call a spade, a spado,
who are a- little shy on the subject
when it comes to handling a spade.
Wherever roads have been permanently
improved it is found that there
has been a very great increase in
